Christophersiess: you may be right about urban living correlating with cat ownership but it's strange that the top ten cat owning states would not come to my mind when I think of urban places.
"The 2011 top 10 states with the most cat-owning households are: Vermont where 49.5 percent owned a cat, Maine with 46.4 percent, Oregon with 40.2 percent, South Dakota with 39.1 percent, Washington with 39 percent, West Virginia with 38.1 percent, Kentucky with 36.8 percent, Idaho with 34.6 percent, Indiana with 34.4 percent, and New Hampshire with 34.2 percent."http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f839aa69bedde76b000012segoviaThu, 17 Jan 2013 12:49:30 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f839aa69bedde76b000012
Even if both Republicans and Democrats are dog people, Republicans are Dobermans and Democrats are French poodles. If both are cat people, then Republicans are lions and Democrats are, well, lunch.
Obviously my paradigm falls short when applied to RINOs in Congress.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f80fbc69bedd4702000002The CatThu, 17 Jan 2013 09:50:36 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f80fbc69bedd4702000002
I think I speak for all cats, and at least 40% of the dogs, when I say "Huh?"http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f80d63ecad04d61100000fMac McCluskeyThu, 17 Jan 2013 09:40:35 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f80d63ecad04d61100000f
Yea, it's because if you kick the cat he moves out.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f77b84ecad04297f000006goldenretrieverWed, 16 Jan 2013 23:18:12 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f77b84ecad04297f000006
Cat: The Other White Meat
Thank you. The Dog has spoken.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f76e7169beddda7d000001ContrarianWed, 16 Jan 2013 22:22:25 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f76e7169beddda7d000001
Are you saying Dems are pussies?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f76ae56bb3f75949000007JCWed, 16 Jan 2013 22:07:17 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f76ae56bb3f75949000007
Clearly a flawed study. Just ask Florida Gov. Rick Scott...http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f75ec9eab8ea847400001aSomchaiWed, 16 Jan 2013 21:15:37 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f75ec9eab8ea847400001a
I've got both dogs and cats. That probably explains why I'd like Universal Healthcare (not Obamacare, a reduced military, drastic curtailing of the "right" to bear arms for non militia, I want a balanced budget to pay for all of it, and I can't stand Obama for having the audacity to think he was a leader.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f75b7269bedde14d000005CharWed, 16 Jan 2013 21:01:22 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f75b7269bedde14d000005
I've noticed this for a long time.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f75523ecad046c3500000echristophersiessWed, 16 Jan 2013 20:34:27 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f75523ecad046c3500000e
I would say that cat ownership correlates more with urban living than political affiliation.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f7549b6bb3f74d1c000013andrewp111Wed, 16 Jan 2013 20:32:11 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f7549b6bb3f74d1c000013
This study is full of horse manure. I am a Republican, to the right of Kublai Khan, and I have 2 cats.
As for why the Blue States have the most cats, it probably correlates most to urban density and not to political affiliation of the pet's owner. It is easier to keep a cat in an apartment than a dog.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f7438b6bb3f7c07b000008Should be the other way aroundWed, 16 Jan 2013 19:19:23 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f7438b6bb3f7c07b000008
Dogs care about people in ways Republicans will never fathom. Unlike Republicans, dogs can be trained and they seem to understand the mechanics of compromise.
Cats are amazing animals and a lot of fun to be around but they are utterly selfish. They will never lift a paw to help. Good luck training them.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f741b5ecad04cb0f00000bwindsorWed, 16 Jan 2013 19:11:33 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f741b5ecad04cb0f00000b
Total BS. I'm a lifelong dem and hate cats, have many dogs. And most of my friends that are dems have dogs as well.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f73ff3ecad04800d000017W.R.PrintzWed, 16 Jan 2013 19:04:03 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f73ff3ecad04800d000017
I would need to see more of this study to agree with the headline....let's see where the link leads me.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f73f9beab8eac630000021yupWed, 16 Jan 2013 19:02:35 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f73f9beab8eac630000021
The real question is how many of those pets are:
a)registered to vote
b)voted in the last election
c)voted differently than their owner
